Displays - IBM 5280 User's Setup Procedures

Displays
Each machine that has a keyboard also has a display screen. The display
screen looks like a television screen. Sometimes the display screen allows you
to give instructions to the system by filling in blanks on the display. The
system checkout procedure will instruct you to observe and to key onto these
display screens.
You will observe a position indicator (similar to a dash) on the display screen.
This is called a cursor. It indicates where the next character or number that
you key will be displayed.
